    About: Many of us are caught in a contemporary struggle of trying to serve as a secure and present partner while attempting to learn what this looks like as we were never taught the skills necessary to show up for others in that way. I am honored to help couples identify the struggles that are keeping them stuck in unhelpful patterns, and support them as they move towards a more full and authentic partnership.
